Well, perhaps the stories about historical events as seen through the eyes of the common man. Harvey often told tales that gave a different perspective on well - known happenings. For example, he might have told a story about how a small - town community was affected by a major war, not just in terms of destruction but also in terms of how they came together and rebuilt. His stories often had a moral or a lesson at the end, which made them not only interesting but also thought - provoking.
